(2012)
During the last six years the European School of Oncology (ESO) opened an undergraduate programme for European medical students, aiming to further improve their oncology knowledge and clinical skills. In this endeavour a ...
Long-term survivors among patients with cancer of unknown primary
(2012)
There is a general conception among oncologists that CUP patients behave poorly to treatment and carry a dismal survival. In this paper we are trying to elucidate the different groups of CUP patients and to describe in ...
Cancer prevalence and mortality in centenarians: A systematic review
(2012)
Life expectancy has dramatically expanded, the global population has aged unprecedentedly and the number of centenarians has significantly increased. The analysis of autopsy series, cancer registries data, vital statistics ...
Direct evidence for normalization of platelet function resulting from platelet count reduction in essential thrombocythemia
(2011)
Essential thrombocythemia is characterized by persistent elevation and functional disturbances of platelets. Both the platelet function analyzer-100 (PFA-100) collagen-epinephrine (CEPI) cartridge and aggregometry with ...
Phase i trial of weekly irinotecan and paclitaxel combined with carboplatin in patients with advanced cancer: A hellenic cooperative oncology group study
(2010)
This trial aimed to define a recommended safe dose (RSD) of weekly paclitaxel and irinotecan combined with carboplatin in patients with advanced cancer. Patients with advanced cancer were eligible for this trial. Dose-limiting ...
Serotonin and neuron-specific enolase: Serum acute and mid-term levels and their association with posttraumatic depression
(2010)
OBJECTIVES: To investigate the association between serotonin (SER), cholesterol, and neuron-specific enolase (NSE) serum levels with depression after traumatic brain injury (TBI). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Seventy-four patients ...
Cancer of unknown primary patients with midline nodal distribution: Midway between poor and favourable prognosis?
(2011)
Background: Midline nodal cancer of unknown primary (CUP) has varying definitions and an unclear natural history compared to that of extragonadal germ cell cancer (EGCC) and neuroendocrine tumors. Methods: We systematically ...
Alcohol and psychoactive drugs increased the pre-hospital mortality in 655 fall-related fatalities in Greece: A call for management protocols
(2012)
Introduction: The frequency of alcohol and psychoactive drugs in fall-related fatalities and their effect on type, severity of injury and location of death constitute the subjects of this study. Methods: A retrospective ...
Estrogen receptor β agonism increases survival in experimentally induced sepsis and ameliorates the genomic sepsis signature: A pharmacogenomic study
(2010)
Background. Nonsteroidal agonists have been developed that selectively bind to and activate estrogen receptor β (ERβ) rather than estrogen receptor α (ERα). ERβ is expressed equally in both male and female mammals in ...
Age-Dependent Metastatic Spread and Survival: Cancer of Unknown Primary as a Model
(2016)
In order to describe a novel approach for the clinical study of metastases, we provide here age-specific incidence and survival data for cancer of unknown primary (CUP). Metastases in various organs are found at CUP ...
